    Eaton is now offering ORV3 solutions, combining OCP innovation with off-the-shelf convenience.

Eaton is officially a platinum member of the Open Compute Project! 

Eaton and the Open Compute Project

The Open Compute Project (OCP) was founded by Meta, Rackspace and Intel in 2011 to apply open-source principles to data center hardware design with the goal of increasing innovation while reducing cost. Eaton has been an OCP member since 2017 and displayed new products at the 2022 and 2023 OCP Global Summit. Eaton will be attending the 2025 OCP Global Summit, be sure to visit our booth!

Combining OCP innovation with off-the-shelf convenience

With preconfigured, tested and validated solutions, Eaton allows its customers to deploy OCP ORV3 racks for testing or production without making a costly engineering commitment. Eaton’s reference designs are also fully customizable to meet the needs of individual customers and IT environments.

Eaton's OCP open-source hardware solutions eliminate:

  • Need for large engineering teams to design OCP-compliant hardware
  • Lack of choice in solution providers 
  • Lack of established, familiar and trusted solution providers 
  • Lack of off-the-shelf solutions 
  • Lack of easily customizable solutions 
  • Lack of transitional solutions that can support OCP-compliant 21-inch and EIA-complaint 19-inch hardware simultaneously

Eaton’s ORV3 rack solutions offer:

44OU or 39OU height
Flexible 19" and 21" mounting
With or without bus bar
